Just go white and wrap it in Mexico blue, then add a roof scoop to match the 675..

First known photos (at least that I've seen) of the 991.2 GT3 in Chalk:

I saw that chalk picture last night and went from feeling it was a crap color to loving it. Would love to see it in person.

Thanks for the link. Those are some great photos of Chalk. I think it's beautiful. Hard for me to distinguish it from Fashion grey based on photos alone.

The trick will be to get that in the same car.

That's why I have only one pair of skis...otherwise, I'd constantly be wanting the skis I left at home.

For what it's worth, I have a Nardo RS6. I thought it was the best color by miles to begin with, but it did have a relatively short shelf-life, (8-9 months) before it started looking bland to me.
I wouldn't buy a chalk car now for that reason. Personal choice though, as always.

Same reason not going with GBM. I think I will love it for a short time. I am going with GR of JMB. Two colors I will never get sick of. Now - if that Safron is available will be a tough choice. Have always wanted yellow but RY too bright for me. But still concerned that 6 months later- will be hitting my head

That's good information for someone like me, pondering Chalk vs Red.

Simple - I do not dislike Chalk - still getting my eyes around it because it is lighter than Fashion Grey and I tend to like the darker hues better.

GR - never get sick of that. It is a classic color that is actually starting to make a come back. Take a drive this afternoon and look at all the cars around you. All grey, white, beige, some black and dark blues. Freakin boring. Time to get some more pep in your step. Life is too short - every person must own a Red sports car once in their lifetime
